DI-MGMT-81803, DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION (IUID) MARKING PLAN (19 JUL 2011)

DI-MGMT-81803, DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION (IUID) MARKING PLAN (19 JUL 2011)., The Item Unique Identification (IUID) Marking Plan details the Contractor’s strategy to execute marking requirements identified in the Government Statement of Work (SOW)/Performance Work Statement (PWS)/Objectives, and/or Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). The Plan fully documents the scope of meeting MIL-STD- 130 DoD Standard Practice Identification Marking of U.S. Military Property, with the Contractor’s marking requirements, marking methodology/strategy, data management, quality assurance, facilities and marking equipment, technical data package requirements, data carrier symbols and print quality, and the master schedule to help the Government manage marking activities in a cost effective and timely manner. To ensure quality, validation, verification, and registration of items being marked, guidance may be gained from two documents: DoD Guide to Uniquely Identifying Items (Assuring valuation, Accountability and Control of Government Property) and DoD Guide to Item Unique Identification Quality. If the quality measuring methodology is non-responsive for desired marking methods, quality levels will be identified within this plan. This Data Item Description (DID) contains format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract. This DID may be applied in any contract which contains a requirement for marking parts and equipment with IUID Data Matrix symbols.
